Hi Patty...

The sheath and waste tanks for the Vantage are made by Alloy Products
Corporation (http://www.alloyproductscorp.com/).  They fall under the
product category of " "UM" ASME pressure Vessels" and are made in a variety
of sizes.  I believe you can order their products directly, but be warned
that the BD tanks have been customized - you will have to add some
extensions and quick-connects to the basic tank design to make them
work.  And even from the manufacturer they are still pricey!

An alternative is to find an old FACStar or FACStar Plus tank someone
doesn't need anymore - they are the same as the Vantage tanks except for
the size (about half) and work great as backup or spare tanks.

Take care.
